It was Customer Appreciation Day on Friday, August 19, 2011 at Waynedale's Marathon Station, 3411 Lower Huntington Road. According to the store manager this was the busiest day in his 13 years of working in convenience stores.

The special day for customers included $1.50 slices of pizza and $.69 fountain drinks all day. At noon the best deals of the day began which included gas being lowered $.10 per gallon, free fountain drinks, Hoosier lottery spin coupons, WOWO table for drawing and prizes and a live broadcast.

"The gas promo was supposed to end at 2pm but we were so packed we ran it until 2:30pm," said Ryan.

"This day was for the customers at both of our stores." "We have been in business for 15 years and our Waynedale customers are the greatest!"

Owner of the Marathon stores tried to make this day special not only for his customers but for their hard working employees as well.

All in all, the day was a great way to say Thank YOU to all of the customers who have shown loyalty to CMT Stores Inc. both on Lower Huntington Road and Jerry's Burger Dairy at the corner of Winchester Road.

"We can't reiterate how much our customers mean to us and how lucky we are. Being an independent business owner our customers are our lives."
